I've been busy designing my projects for my upcoming stamping classes but I'm taking a break to show you a card we made recently at my last techniques class. I taught the Tarnished FoilTechnique and it was so much fun. Everyone's cards turned out just a little bit different. We used the Woodland Textured Embossing Folder which you can purchase at my Stampin' Up! Online Store today.

Beginning at the 3” score (on the left side), use scissors and cut diagonally up to the right side of the Designer Series Paper to about 1” down from the top. Pleat on the scored lines to create the drapery effect.

Use Snail or Glue Dots to hold the pleats together.

Without gluing down, place your pleated piece on a 4” x 5-1/4” Whisper White card stock and determine where to stamp the “You make me SMILE” from the Colorful Seasons Stamp Set then stamp in coordinating ink.

Adhere the Whisper White to the front of your card. Add a 1/2” strip of coordinating Designer Series Paper across the pleats. Adhere to the Whisper White stamped piece.

With another piece of coordinating Designer Series Paper punch out the bow pieces using the Bow Builder Punch. Put the bow together and adhere to the front of the card.

Adhere another piece of 4” x 5-1/4” Whisper White card stock to the inside of the card.
